An Investigation of Phylogenetic Likelihood Methods
We analyze the performance of likelihoodbased approaches used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees. Unlike other techniques such as Neighbor-Joining (NJ) and Maximum Parsimony (MP), relatively little is known regarding the behavior of algorithms founded on the principle of likelihood. We study the accuracy, speed, and likelihood scores of four representative likelihood-based methods (fastDNAml, Mr...
متن کاملBEST: Bayesian estimation of species trees under the coalescent model
UNLABELLED BEST implements a Bayesian hierarchical model to jointly estimate gene trees and the species tree from multilocus sequences. It provides a new option for estimating species phylogenies within the popular Bayesian phylogenetic program MrBayes. The technique of simulated annealing is adopted along with Metropolis coupling as performed in MrBayes to improve the convergence rate of the M...
متن کاملRAxML-III: a fast program for maximum likelihood-based inference of large phylogenetic trees
MOTIVATION The computation of large phylogenetic trees with statistical models such as maximum likelihood or bayesian inference is computationally extremely intensive. It has repeatedly been demonstrated that these models are able to recover the true tree or a tree which is topologically closer to the true tree more frequently than less elaborate methods such as parsimony or neighbor joining. D...
متن کاملAn Experimental Analysis of Consensus Tree Algorithms for Large-Scale Tree Collections
Consensus trees are a popular approach for summarizing the shared evolutionary relationships in a collection of trees. Many popular techniques such as Bayesian analyses produce results that can contain tens of thousands of trees to summarize. We develop a fast consensus algorithm called HashCS to construct large-scale consensus trees. We perform an extensive empirical study for comparing the pe...
متن کاملRobustness of compound Dirichlet priors for Bayesian inference of branch lengths.
We modified the phylogenetic program MrBayes 3.1.2 to incorporate the compound Dirichlet priors for branch lengths proposed recently by Rannala, Zhu, and Yang (2012. Tail paradox, partial identifiability and influential priors in Bayesian branch length inference. Mol. Biol. Evol. 29:325-335.) as a solution to the problem of branch-length overestimation in Bayesian phylogenetic inference. The co...
